Once again, any criticism whatsoever of Obama is racism

“Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being soimperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who wouldtarget their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. Adeliberate attempt to smear Obama, McCain’s ticket-mate echoed the line at threeseparate events Saturday.“This is not a man who sees America like you and Isee America,” she said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We seean America of exceptionalism.”…Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters withovert racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of ablack presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring apredominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?

If you ask me, the McCain camp should try to milk this all they can. The more people see this "If you dare question me, I will label you a racist" sort of politics, the less they will trust Obama.
